Let me jump in. So, RHEL "helpfully" creates an .emacs for you
automagically?!? That caught me off guard since I had never used
Emacs on the machine which we just turned on Monday.
Well, yes, but I don't know what the user is doing yet, and as
far as
I can tell from what's been said so far the only thing wrong is that
the user thinks something's wrong. OK, I'm listening, but I can't
help until I can figure out what's going wrong.
You were right earlier. I did save the customizations just like you
do in Issue 411. But, since I didn't migrate, the customizations
went into .emacs Since I am not a heavy Emacs customize user, that
caught me off guard as well; I didn't know Emacs did that.
But, I would recommend not looking at .emacs at all and not attempt to
migrate it. That's what SXEmacs does as I understand it and I think
that's best. And, that would prevent some of these mis-conceptions.
